“CHICKENHAWK: MEN WHO
LOVE BOYS is one of the sickest documentaries you'll probably ever see. Made in
1994, it's a look inside the world of NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love
Association, an organization that purportedly exists as a 'political and
educational organization' for guys who like their meat real tender. There are
no hard-core scenes of man-boy joy in CHICKENHAWK, but the stories and
fantasies that NAMBLA members relate are jaw-droppingly creepy enough.” (VICE)

ADI SIDEMAN's NYU
sophomore project premiered at the NYUFF in 1994 and made national headlines
(no doubt aided by the rumor that NYUFF staff got boy scouts to hand out the
flyers). The subject of pretty much universal moral derision and ridicule by
stalwarts of pop culture such as TV's South Park, NAMBLA members rarely get to
speak for themselves candidly. And with CHICKENHAWK, they tell it all.
